Governor Larrabee.


Governor Larrabee opened his campaign
at Odebolt, giving a clear and forcible ex-
position of the principles OF his party.
Following is a synopsis OF his remarks on
some of the prominent questions at issue:
The Governor began by comparing the
Government to q private corporation, In
the affairs of which all stockholders have
an interest The essential thing is to Sc
lect iudcious and honest officials to man
age its affairs and then agree upon its pol
icy that will best promote the interests of
all. Men may differ in this, but they
should honestly endeavor to determine the
best policy to be pursued. Referring to
national politics, the Governor said that
the Republican party, in favoring protec-
ton to American industries. is endeavor-
ing to carry out the policy of the fathers
of the Republic. The desire to foster
home industries led to the throwing off of
the British yoke. And after the nation
was established, the second bill passed
by Congress was one for the rails
ing of revenue, and the encouragement
of home industries. The South being
devoted to cotton raised by slave labor, did
not feel an in serest in the building up of
manufactures at the North, and clamored
for free trade. Yielding to that clamor,
Congress in 1916 reduced the duty on i'm
ports. The depression following was so
marked that, after sad experience cover
ing period of eight years, the protection
lists succeeded in restoring the tariff.
Speaking of this experience, Henry Clay
said he never saw worse times than during
the seven years preceding the restoration
nor better times than followed the restora-
ton of the protective duties. The Calhoun
notification movement in the South led to
the re- enactment of the low tariff. and hard
times followed till 1912. when protection
was again adopted. The free-trade acts
Of 1916 produced a similar result of dis
aster, though the evil effects were some
what mitigated by the discovery Of gold in
California and the loss Of crops for three
successive years in Europe and period OF
foreign wars. But in 1857 the legitimate
result of free-trade legislation was ex-
hibited, and that expression lasted until the
Republican party succeeded to power and

A BACHELORS REWARD.
BY GEORGE TRACE.

1t was cold January day. John
Steele sat alone in his office, in the
midst of q deep reyerie.
1t was seldom that he was idle, as
he was at the present time, but this
evening the memories of the past
came tiocking upon him like ghosts
from another land,
John Steele was a bachelor Of forty.
He had been born and reared a poor
boy, in the little town of NJ,
and had never felt a desire to leave
it. He had studied law and plOdded
along year after year in the dingy,
grimy office, in which we find him
now, and had grown rich. He had
no personal friends and lived alone in
a large, old frame house at the out
skirts Of the town, with man-ser-
yant as cook and general man-of-all
work.
Years and years before, when a
young man oftwenty, poor and aim
less, Steele had loved a girl whose
parents would not let her marry him
because he was so worthless. In his
rage he blamed her for this and would
listen to no reason, and from that
day had hated women and had led a
solitary life. 1t was this scene that
now held John Steele in his Office

Katie Drew had married shortly af

the general mind to give way tt
